The story behind the benchmarks hiding in plain sight in Ireland The Ordnance Survey benchmarks chiselled into buildings, walls and bridges were originally used to measure height across Ireland

The story behind the benchmarks hiding in plain sight around Ireland. The Ordnance Survey marks chiselled into buildings, walls & bridges were originally used to measure height across the country. By @catsporter.bsky.social & Margaret O'Sullivan @unioflimerick.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

A bench mark chiselled onto a large stone with green grass growing at the bottom of the stone. The bench mark includes an upward pointing 'broad arrow' topped by a horizontal line cut known as the 'bench'.

"It's basically like a big treasure hunt"

Margaret O'Sullivan from UL's School of History & Geography spoke to Clare FM about a new UL research project that's seeking the public's assistance to locate Irish heritage relics known as bench marks.
